Book of the Week | One Degree

By Damian Jennings -

John Guastaferro's seminal book, One Degree, was released a couple of years ago. If you've not read it, Josh and Andi explain why you should.

The book is about more than magic tricks. The idea behind the book is that it will help you to make your own brand of magic and it teaches you how to make your magic an experience for your audience. The thrust of the book is about trying to get you to examine the material you already do and think about how you can make one little change and improve it. And that little change can be enough to wholly change the impact of the trick.

If you'd like to read a extract from the book for free, you can get the One Degree Sampler.

If you've read enough and want to buy it, you can do that here: One Degree by John Guastaferro.
